Abstract
The adjustable siding gauge described in these documents is to be used with any lap or clapboard siding application. By starting at the bottom with your first course level you can then adjust the gauge for the amount of clapboard you wish to show (or weather). By hooking the adjustable part (B) on the bottom edge of the first course and resting the body (A) up against the clapboard you can then simply place the next course on the wall and down until it rests on the top of the body, and then nail it. By using the gauge in this way you will always have a consistent amount of weather between where the clapboards overlap, the courses will stay fairly level and there is no need to snap chalk lines to keep them even. The adjustable siding gauge is easily carried and handled. It will last for years and it is fully adjustable from 1" to 8" of weather.
